GOP Rep: Obama's Ebola Misinformation Could Lead to Public Panic

On “Fox News Sunday,” Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce’s subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, said the Obama administration is in danger of causing public panic with misstatements.

Murphy, a psychologist said, “My background is not medicine; it’s psychology. I know what creates panic. What creates panic is when people are given information that is proven to be false.”

“We can look at things, but this idea of only looking at fever scans and asking people to be honest — we know that those are two more assumptions that the [CDC] has made that are not true, and if you want to restore faith with the American people and stop panic, you need to be more accurate here.”
